    its great to know that theres a simply friend close by. i have 2 heckels in the group(2 cobalt blues, 2 pigeon blues and 2 snakeskins) and they are the dominant resident even tho they're the latest addition

    I'm a newbie living in Midlothian, VA. In fact, I don't have any fish yet! I'm still learning and reading and trying to visit some others to check out their setup. I just stumbled on this section of Simply that lists some of the discus folks from VA! I hope to visit some of you soon!

    Planning a nice setup will be important for us! Architect wife will demand that it "looks good". I don't mind putting in the the time and money but I want to make everything as easy as possible. I travel from time to time and I have learned (with orchids) that I shouldn't depend heavily on family and friends to tend the chores in my absence!

    Water changes, feeding regimen and water chemistry intimidate me the most. I want to ensure I can dedicate adequate resources to the hobby before I can commit! I may have to lay off a couple of hobbys before I can take on this one!!! Maybe some of you know what I mean!

    Thanks to all for your help so far. This is a great and helpful group. I have yet to PM or email anyone and not have them respond enthusiastically!

    Hi all, newbie starting discus for the first time. Don't actually live in VA, but the closest city to me is Danville, Va ( 10mins away ). So I am posting in both VA and NC. Cruising the forums and sponsors now looking for discus! Any suggestions or any comments would be welcome!

    I'm a new member. I have a planted 75G with 6 discus and a few other fish. I live in Chesapeake and work in Newport News for now... Good to know there are people around who keep discus as well.

    Richmond here and I'm late to the party as always, I've been keeping fish as long as I can remember. Irene killed the power for 9 days and I lost all of my marine tanks and I went back to FW because its the last time I can remember enjoying the hobby. I picked up a mated pair of adult red turquoise a few days ago and I hate to admit it but I'm hooked!

    Ill be rehoming the last 2 fish in my 180 and devoting it to discus within the next week, I just need to get rid of a 2' clown knife and a fat oscar

    John here from Fairfax, VA. Originally from NYC. New to the site and new to discus. But not new to fish keeping. Since I was 7 long, long ago I've kept just about everything at one time or another except Africans and discus. Currently, I'm running a 150gal reef, a 10gal tropical community (always loved neons and corys!) and a 90gal backyard pond, Recently, I decided to remedy the situation of never having kept discus before!

    I prepared a 37gal as my starter tank and found Truc from Manassas on CL raising some that I've put in. They have acclimated nicely and so far, so good! I will be adding a 75 or 90 for them as their main display tank in the near future.

I also have a Pigeon Blood a bit older!. Looking to meet other local Discus keepers and possibly pick up a dozen fry!.. Bill
